The relevant file is /etc/gnome/config/Xaw.ad. That file was copied
verbatim from grdb, and it looks like it contains a lot of cruft which
can be removed. You can happily delete lines from that file that are
breaking for you, and I'll file a bug to remove thje lines which GNOME
doesn't manipulate (it should only be overriding the colours).
